Local produce and wholefoods

For the latest information on local food from the producer to the restaurant table check out the Somerset Food website

We support local and ethical businesses, and much of the equipment, fixtures and fittings in the cottage have been bought with this in mind. The consumables for the welcome pack and optional extras packs are supplied by:
